Neal out Mon - Wed testing a new top secret extreme performance summer tire
Hey everyone! I'll be out of the office Monday the 21st and returning Wednesday the 23rd. Myself and a group here will be testing a new extreme performance summer tire at a track down south. I'll have a full report on what we're testing and how it did within a week of my return. Stay tuned!

I'm sure it's not those new Direzza Star Specs or anything, right?

I would like something quietier if theirs only a small trade off in performance.

I just hope these are a new compound and not just a different contact patch. The old Z1s get greasy on me at the track, so I was planning on switching to NT01s this season.
